In January I will be thrown into administration of six new SPARCs (don't know yet what exactly they will be) in an existing subnet, having only two months of experience as root (on a standalone Debian Linux PC).
In some newsgroup I followed a Linux vs. Solaris discussion, with the resume that on systems with not too many users (and without multiple processors :-) Linux will run much faster. So I'm considering to install Linux on the SPARCs, but I wonder if there is already a Debian Distribution for SPARC which works as smoothly as the PC distrib, eg. having boot disks and all the stuff one needs. Is the SPARC tree in debian/stable as complete as the binary-i386 tree? Not having that much experience yet I wouldn't want to try to install from a distribution which is considered experimental (as suggested to me by reading the articles in debian-sparc-1196). I realize that there is an official release of Red Hat for SPARC which I should use, but I like Debian and would rather stick with it, so: will it work (already, soon)?
